"She's safe enough for you to go in. The virus isn't contagious," Mr. Scamander said. He tapped his wand to the glass wall, and a portion melted away big enough for Credence to walk through. He walked up to Caoimhe's side. Her curls were back and her eyes were still the same crystal blue. But her skin was so pale that you could see every vein in her body that wasn't concealed with bruises. Her skin stretched over her bones. Though her eyes were blue, they had lost their spark. Her eyes were sunken in, her limbs tied down tightly to keep from jerking.
Mr. Scamander gently took off her mask. Caoimhe wheezed as Mr. Scamander left. "How are you?" Credence asked softly. "The virus got into my bones. They've started breaking," she said. He fingered her curls gently. "I know they're trying to help me. It just hurts, Credence. I want to make it stop." She was crying now, tears streaming down her cheeks. Caoimhe was rarely weepy. When she cried, it meant something was truly wrong. He kissed her forehead delicately. "Thank you for being strong," he whispered.
"How could you love this? Look at me! I'm ugly, weak, and sick. I'm not the girl you fell in love with," she sobbed. "Caoimhe, when you loved me, I was an unstable Obscurial who had an ugly haircut. You loved me then. I will love you now." He kissed her pale lips softly. A cracking noise was heard, and Caoimhe winced. He pulled back, concerned. "It wasn't you. It was another one of my ribs," she said with a painful smile. He sighed. "I love you."
"I love you more."
